Being highly intuitive isn’t exactly a dream come true, but I have been able to help many people along my journey. Listening is one of my gifts. Listening offers an ability to see beyond the words, beyond the emotion, and into a world that belongs to you. Sometimes it is physically painful and sometimes it is so blissful, I wonder if it’s real.

Yesterday I listened to a man talk about his church and how he came upon it. His love for his faith was so overwhelming I saw him covered in his own happiness. It was only an instant, but it was beautiful.

Some time before that I had a dream vision of someone who was completely ignorant to the distrust of a loved one. I felt it for him, and I couldn’t tell him, no matter what I did. When I awoke, I immediately sent him a message and the images I saw, the pain I felt, had come to pass. The guidance I gave was meant for him, and only him.

Before that it was an aura I saw of a future healer…the brightest blue I have ever seen. He must learn to stop looking for labels and accept what is.

Having an open mind about where guidance can come from is how it comes from someone like me. I don’t have to know you, I don’t have to be close to you….I just receive the message and I know when to give it to you.

How does this all tie in to Self-Love? Self Love is an acceptance of who you are and what you are. It’s about releasing those monsters from your past and inviting them to finish their business without defeating you so you can move forward. It’s about not being afraid of what is coming and allowing yourself to be happy. This does not happen overnight, not for any one of us. But it can happen!

As soon as self-love is achieved, so much can be accomplished. I embrace a teacher role in this matter, but will always be a student. Spiritual guidance is sometimes needed, a third party to see what can be improved upon…even from a distance.

Man or Woman–you can feel beautiful by yourself, without needing someone to confirm what you already know.
The Self-Love journey always includes a journal. All kits are designed specifically for the individual seeking self love. We talk about what is through message or email and then we move forward with your first package.

If you or someone you know can benefit from learning a little Self-Love and have questions, email me or visit my Charmed Charms on Etsy to read more.

Over the last few weeks I have made it mandatory to meditate daily. Finding your Zen isn’t easy. It’s not always about finding answers. I think a lot about my daughters and their personalities. I think a lot about the decisions they will come to make and how those decisions will affect their lives….and mine–ha.
Lately, I have been thinking about not thinking at all. I find it difficult to clear my thoughts and let my mind just be…do you find it difficult?

This morning I had an epiphany, more-so, remembered something I read about someone’s final words (all while driving my little 15 minute to work). We work so hard to achieve monetary wealth; this physical life with physical problems.
Why are we born naked, in such a primitive, dirty way? Why then, are we meant to suck our mother’s breast for food, made to get warm with skin to skin contact and suck poison with our mouths when the bee stings?

The bay leaf, berries of laurel, laurel leaves…oh, where to begin. I LOVE bay leaves. They smell wonderful, they hold their shape when dried and they add a great flavor to food!

This little leaf holds history that not many herbs can stand up against. Through out history and over the years, the bay laurel tree has been known to symbolize honor. The Greeks and Romans have used this herb to recognize scholar achievements and contributions. Even now, we see laurel wreathes honoring winners of athletic events and in our Olympics!

The bay leaf has many important metaphysical properties.
Use to cleanse a space, cast an intention to protect, or include in your dream pillow to enhance your psychic awareness (which we all have). They increase positive healing energy and ward off negative energy. Burn bay leaves after a passing illness to purify a space and kick out any lingering illness.
I personally use them under my pillow at night to help with a good and deep sleep. I dab a little awareness oil (my own recipe) on the leaf that mostly consists of calendula flowers. My visions come to me during sleep, so nice vivid dreaming is always welcome. I also use them to compel my hopes and wishes. Continue reading “The Bay Leaf”→

Herb infused oils are a great way (for your wallet), to add that extra punch you need in your scrubs, balms, and lotions. They add a lovely natural scent, plus you get the properties of the herbs AND the oils…yaaay us, right!?

Exfoliation & Moisturizing…@home! This scrub was made with the beauty diy’er who loves recipes with more than one purpose. There are many variations; I recommend following this recipe first and tweaking when you’re ready to make another jar-approx.. 4 oz.Continue reading “Rose & Lemon Balm Scrub”→

Rose Buds

Roses are used in beauty products such as serums, hydrosols, aromatherapy, and of course, teas. Rose Essential Oil have natural antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. However…the oil is extremely expensive. It takes A LOT of roses to produce a few drops of oil, so here are a few tricks to achieve some of the same benefits using whole dried rose buds.

Over the years I’ve found things that calm my mind and my spirit. I have learned that “my own little hell” was actually several life lessons; pieces of a puzzle I don’t get to see yet. I get angry for having to go through a hardship and then I get angry again for understanding why I had to experience that hardship.
Eventually the dust settles and then all seems okay again…until life decides to throw the next curveball. Continue reading “My Zen”→
